Flour And Bread Mix

[bear6954]

I currently use Pamela's mix for pancakes etc and Gluten Free Pantry for bread mix. My son now needs to be dairy and sugar free and I am looking for an all purpose mix and bread mix that taste good. Do you have any suggestions on those items? Thanks for your help.

I use Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix and use water. (the instructions say to use either milk or water--I'm sure a milk sub would work, too). The mix itself does not contain dairy. I think it's very good--I make a loaf probably every 2 weeks or so.

Jerseyangel - does it contain brown sugar? Their regular sandwhich bread contains brown sugar and my son really needs to limit his sugar.

I have a box right here--it contains: white rice flour, potato starch, corn starch, guar gum, granulated honey, salt, and a packet of yeast.

Domata flour has dextrin and I don't know how close to a sugar that is, but it is gluten-free and CF too. I like it quite a bit.

I also have a box of "nearly normal" flour here and it looks to fit the bill too. But it does have something called expandex in it and I don't know what the heck that is.

I have also ordered a box of better batter flour-- you might want to check that out too. I think they post the ingredients on Amazon.

Good luck!

Check out Annie's mixes. Not sure about the sugar content, but many of her breads are free of a lot of allergens including yeast. They are a bit pricey, but they are yummy.

I am dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free and use Jules Gluten Free flour--it is the best all purpose flour I've tried and can be used 1-1 in your favorite recipes. Jules has a great cookbook too with tons of dairy free versions of her gluten-free recipes. My family orders it online: www.julesglutenfree.com and always has some on hand. (There's a great new graham cracker mix too!)
